Additional Information
Introduction
The Presidential Palace is situated on the Royal Avenue. During the Second World War, it was occupied by the Germans in Warsaw and became the "House of Germany." The Germans made many alterations to the mansion. For example, the base of the lion statue in the yard was raised, and so on. The palace still retains these alterations. Since 1995, it has been the place where the Polish president works and lives.

Royal in its setting and uniquely European in its location in the heart of the Old Town, right next to the historic, Art Deco coffee and cookies hotspot - the Bristol Cafe.
If you happen to be near this building then it's worth going to see it, and you may even get to see the President arriving or leaving. There is also a changing of the guards which if you time it right you may get to see. It's near to many other attractions in Warsaw, so you may pass it unintentionally as I did. There are apparently often protests and demonstrations taking place outside here, but there didn't seem to be any on the days I went past.
The Presidential Palace is part of the Royal Route on the street of Krakowskie Przedmiescie and is fronted by the imposing statue figure of Prince Jozef Poniatowski. Over the years the palace has served a number of uses, from being home to numerous important aristocratic families, to eventually being occupied by Germany during the war. However, now the impressive structure is the seat of the Polish Council of Ministers.
While you can't actually go into the Presidential Palace, for those interested in history will take interest in simply being there, for this is where the historic 'Warsaw Pact' was signed in 1955.The building itself is an elegant neoclassical style building and is located on the grand Krakowskie Przedmieśćie, the Champs Elysees of Warsaw!
Booking tickets online is very convenient, three yuan cheaper than on-site ticket purchases, but there is no paper ticket, which is a bit regretful. It is very convenient to enter. You can swipe your ID card. It is free for under 18 years old. The transportation is very convenient. It is recommended to travel by bus. The Presidential Palace is really too big to be visited in four or five hours.
